you do know that berkeley was the first UC right? And that berkeley is in norcal? so it would make perfect sense that since the first UC was in norcal (as well as SF and Davis, which are also in norcal), to open up the offices in norcal too? haha. the Cal name probably also has to do with it being the first UC. LA was the fourth undergraduate UC, and the first one in socal : D</p>
